Archer survives tough region for state playoff trip

When the Class AAAAAAA high school brackets were finalized last weekend, Archer and North Cobb drew a familiar opponent in the first round. The two teams played each other the previous two years in the regular season, so Friday’s state playoff matchup makes it three straight seasons. North Cobb won both previous meetings, 28-14 at home in 2025 and 49-21 at Archer in 2024. Archer reached the postseason while navigating an incredibly tough schedule that included No. 3 overall seed Carrollton before a region slate that featured No. 2 Newton, No. 12 Grayson and No. 19 South Gwinnett. The Tigers were off last week after a 49-23 loss at Newton in Game 10. After losing record-breaking Jordan Do to graduation off last season’s team, Archer still leans heavily on its quarterback, Jamal Ambler. The junior has 1,797 passing yards and 17 TDs, along with 241 rushing yards and three TDs. His top targets are Robbie Dunn Jr. (65 catches, 722 yards, nine TDs), Avery Booth (34-433-3), Jayden Davis (24-312-3) and Gary Isaac (23-175-4). Archer’s defensive playmakers include Joshua Booker (68 tackles, three for losses, five caused fumbles), Kevin Gwibuka (65 tackles, three for losses, four interceptions, two caused fumbles, one

Shiloh draws huge state test in reigning state champion Creekside

In its return to the state football playoffs, Shiloh faces a tall task in Round 1. The Generals travel Friday night to play at Creekside, last year’s Class AAAA state champion after a 15-0 season. The Seminoles, who haven’t lost to a Georgia team since falling to Marist in the 2024 state semifinals, are 9-1 this season after reeling off nine straight wins since a season-opening loss to Clay-Chalkville (Ala.). Quarterback Savoy Nichols, a 6-foot-6, 205-pound dual threat, leads a balanced Creekside offense with 2,061 passing yards and 26 touchdowns. The Tarleton State (Texas) commit is joined in the backfield by several playmakers led by Clemson commit Gary Walker (927 rushing yards, 15 TDs) and Branden Wiley (580 rushing yards, 12 TDs). Five Creekside receivers have at least four TD catches, including Boston College commit Armani Hill (19-478-7). Other standouts on the loaded Creekside roster include Alabama commit Darrius White and Tennessee commit Carter Jamison at defensive back, Auburn commit Jaylon Moore (6-foot-4, 290 pounds) at offensive line and Colorado commit Kenny Fairley at defensive line. A run-heavy Shiloh offense must find a way to crack a talented defense. The unit leans heavily on its line and senior running back

Collins Hill fights into playoffs for Round 1 meeting with unbeaten Newton

After an 0-4 start in non-region play, Collins Hill couldn’t afford any missteps over its final six football games if it wanted to crack the top 32 in the Georgia High School Association’s PSR Power Rankings and earn a state playoff spot. The Eagles needed to keep winning and did just that, going 5-1 down the stretch (the lone loss was to 10-0, defending state champion Buford). They beat Region 8-AAAAAAA’s lower tier teams and topped the two teams also in the postseason discussion — 52-40 over Dacula and 42-34 over Mill Creek. Game 10 wasn’t as much of a test for Collins Hill, which rolled to a 56-6 win over Discovery last week. Jamel Tuff caught four passes — three for touchdowns — for 103 yards, and Kevin Hughes had four catches for 67 yards and two TDs. Johnny Paulk provided a spark with two punt returns for 69 yards. Solomon Thomas (11 tackles, two for losses, three QB hurries, sack, interception) and Christian Fleming (four tackles, one for loss, forced fumble, fumble recovery) were among the defensive standouts last week. Those region wins were good enough to get Class AAAAAAA’s No. 31 seed out of 32 for Friday’s

Central Gwinnett grad launches CollegeSeats to make college football ticket buying more affordable and secure

Adis Tucakovic and his friends had been burned one too many times buying tickets for college football games on the secondary marketplace. So the former Lawrenceville resident decided to “make a difference” by starting his own college-football ticket platform, CollegeSeats. “I’ve been on both sides of the ticketing problem — buying and selling,” said Tucakovic. “That’s where I came from with CollegeSeats and make a difference by putting a little positivity in the world. If you’ve ever bought tickets for a game, you have to find seats on a site, and the price looks fine and once you get to checkout, suddenly its 30% higher because of fees. “Or if you go to a Facebook group, then you’re sending money to strangers, hoping the tickets are real. That’s the burn. There’s always one winner and it’s the people setting the fees. Those are the people who are collecting the money — they are the winners. Everyone else — the buyers and the sellers — are the losers because of the fees.” A 2020 graduate of Central Gwinnett High School who went on to earn a degree in computer science from the University of Georgia, Tucakovic works for the U.S. Air

Hillgrove hits road but peaking at right time

Hillgrove and Peachtree Ridge enter the first round of the state playoffs with 7-3 records, but the final stretch of their regular seasons couldn’t have been much more different. The Hawks have won four in a row and six of their last seven, while Peachtree Ridge has lost three of its last four and is coming off a 51-3 loss to Brookwood. Missing in that game were quarterback Zain Belfield and running back August Hall, which Hillgrove coach Justin Deshon said was a big component in Peachtree Ridge’s late-season struggles. “I think it’s the start of a new season, especially with us going there,” Deshon said. “Part of the reason they’ve struggled as of late is they’ve had just a litany of injuries, so we expect some of those guys to get back on the field from some of the injuries they’ve had. "We expect the best version of them. They were a really, really dynamic football team early in the season when they were all the way healthy.” For the Hawks, October went smoothly. They defeated Harrison, another Cobb County frontrunner 35-26, and nearly beat McEachern in a close 27-24 contest for their only loss in region play. Before

Peachtree Ridge hosts Hillgrove in state football opener

Peachtree Ridge’s success early in the football season not only brought a state playoff berth, but also a first-round home game Friday against Hillgrove. The Lions, who started 6-0, have lost three of four, though all three were to state playoff teams — No. 4 seed Brookwood, No. 6 North Gwinnett and No. 29 Norcross. It eked out a 40-34, double-overtime win over Duluth to avoid a four-game losing streak. Both of the past two games — the win over Duluth and the loss to Brookwood — were played without starting quarterback Zain Belfield. Despite last week’s setback against Brookwood, the Lions got standout defensive play from R.J. Parks (13 tackles, two for losses, two sacks), Britt Finley (13 tackles) and Donovan Macombe (10 tackles). Cayden Macon was a bright spot on a slow offensive night with four catches for 56 yards. Manny Jimenez made his only field goal attempt, a 45-yarder, and punted seven times for a 39.4-yard average. Hillgrove closed its regular season a hot streak with four straight victories with two over state playoff teams, No. 23 Harrison and No. 27 North Atlanta. Class AAAAAAA First Round Hillgrove Hawks (3-AAAAAAA) Coach: Justin DeShon Record: 7-3 Seed: No.

Parkview, South Gwinnett bring high-powered offenses into Round 1 matchup

Two of Gwinnett County’s most potent offenses face off in the first round of the Class AAAAAAA state football playoffs on Friday in Lilburn. Parkview hosts South Gwinnett in a rematch of a regular-season game from Aug. 28, when visiting Parkview posted a 55-29 win. A quick start that night proved to be the difference for the Panthers, who jumped out to a 20-3 lead after the first quarter. Zandon Mullins powered the victory with 25 rushes for 164 yards and four touchdowns, though quarterback Greg Hart completed 12 of 14 passes for 281 yards and a TD. Most of the passes went to Christian Ema, who had seven catches for 200 yards and a score. South quarterback C.J. Peoples also had a big day in a losing effort, completing 14 of 25 passes for 302 yards and three TDs and rushing nine times for 50 yards. Jayden Juniors had five catches for 116 yards and a TD, and Jaleel Braker had two catches for 60 yards and two TDs. Those same players on both sides have continued to put up big numbers throughout the season, including last week in Game 10 losses. Peoples was 19 of 33 passing for
